A member asked:

Could my breast surgeon lower one breast that he admitted to placing too high in his office & without using anesthesia?

Quite possibly, : Minor revisions to breast surgery can often be done in the office surgical suite under local anesthesia with or without intravenous sedation. However, in your situation, it will depend on the nature of the previous procedures and the type of work that would need to be done to lower the breast..

Local: It could be very uncomfortable. He could use a lot of local anesthetic with some sedation possibly but it still would not be pleasant. It would be more ideal to have anesthesia involved. Good luck.

Depends on Situation: Whether or not you will be comfortable having the procedure performed under local anesthesia will depend on many factors including exactly what procedure is performed and how you handle anxiety/discomfort. Best wishes.

Ask surgeon: Some plastic surgery procedures can be done in the office without anesthesia. You need to ask the surgeon what technique they are going to use and wether this will work for you.
